aspects of culture. I would like to show you a Thai costume which I find a valuable culture.
In the past , Thai men twisted and pulled the loincloth up tightly around the waist and their upper part of the body was naked. Thai women , on the other hand, wore a piece of cloth around their breasts and wore the same loincloth as a man. Due to the hot weather, Thai people did not wear too many clothes. During the King Rama V era, Thai costume had been changed. The great King Rama V realized that Thailand had to step forward to become a civilized country. Many European countries wanted Thailand to be their colony by claiming that the developing country should be colonized by the civilized country.
Apart from creatinging various innovation, King Rama V also launched a royal pattern , Raj pattern, a uniform for officials to wear in several ceremonies which was revealed by other countries that Thailand was then civilized. That time men wore shirts in their ordinary life. Up to now , Thai costume has been changed a great deal. Fashion from Western and other East- Asian cultures have played an important role in Thai costume. However, Thais cannot adopt all of them owing to the hot weather.
In conclusion , Thai costume is beautifully designed to fit with Thai environment which becomes a Thai heritage. This makes all Thais so proud of their cultural uniqueness.

ReplyDeleteThese clothes are good looking. I think these clothes are quite functional. These seem very lightly and cool.

ReplyDeleteThailand's costume is very beautiful and colorfully. Clothes are very different from Japan. The Japanese costumes are casual, punk, and some people like cosupure in Japanese.
I wear jeans mainly, but recently I wear skirt.
I want to try to wear Thailand's costume.
Furthermore, I want to see Thailand's costume more. In Japan, men and women are different but similar to sometimes. Women who wears men clothes, and there are opposite.
However, men and women are very different in Thailand. So, it is interesting for me.
If I could go Thailand, I will go and see directly.
